“Would you like for me to come along?”

“That’s all up to you..”

“I feel like i want to be there.”

“Then you can be.” I say smiling.
…

Two hours pass and we have showered and cleaned for the day.

I pace myself back and forth with the phone to my ear as I have dialled Helena’s number into my phone.

I want through rings before I get an answer moments later.

“Bette? Hi, how are you?”

“Hey, Helana. I’m great and how’re you?”

“I’m doing well, thanks. So what has you calling?”

“Your mother..is she still around?”

“She’s actually on her way back with the kid’s.”

“Remember our talk at the Planet?”

“Indeed I do, Bette.”

“Would I be able to talk with her?”

“Drop on over, I’m sure by the time you get here she’ll be arriving.”

“Sound’s great Helena, thanks so much.”

“Of course, Bette.”

“I’ll see you soon.” I smile through the phone and hang up.

I step out of the room to enter the living room as I head towards the door to find Tina.

When I spot her, she’s sitting on the sofa slipping into a pair of her shoes.

“I just got off the phone with Helena.” I say.

“So, what’s the verdict?”

“Peggy is out at the moment but Helena said by the time we get there, she’ll possibly be back.”

“So shall we go?” She asks me.

“Are you ready?”

“Yeah.” Tina stands up. “All ready.”

I open the door and walk out behind Tina.
–

We approach the house minutes later and pull up to the gate.

I pull the car up to the side and pull it in park.

We walk to the door and ring the door bell.

Helena swings open the door.

“Bette and Tina, wow.” Helena says surprised.

“Yeah, it’s the both of us.”

“Again as I may add.” Helena says smiling.

“Yes, again.” I say.

“Finally, I’m so happy you guys are back together.” Helena says with excitement. “So mother isn’t back but she shouldn’t be that much longer. Dylan and I are out back so come join us, would you like something to drink?”

“I’ll have some water.” Tina says.

“I’ll have a glass too.” I say.

We walk to the back of the house and find the back deck.

We step out to see Dylan with her feet in the pool.

“Dylan, hey!” Tina says.

Dylan turns to look at us.

“Hey guys!”

“Hey Dylan” I say.

I sit down on a chair and notice T begin to slip off her shoes and sit down beside Dylan.

Helena then appears around the corner holding two glasses of water.

“Thanks, Helena.” I say as I take the glass from her hand.

I then hear a vibration noise and I look at Helena who grabs her phone from her pocket.

“It’s a text from mother.” She says aloud. “She’ll be here any moment and to have her glass of whiskey poured.”
